Inductive Construction of Repletion

The aim of this paper is to give a purely logical construction of repletion, i.e. the reflection of an arbitrary set to a replete one. Replete sets within constructive logic were introduced independently by M. Hyland and P. Taylor as the most restrictive but sufficiently general notion of predomain suitable for the purposes of denotational semantics à la Scott.For any set A its repletion R(A) appears as an inductively defined subset of S²(A) (A S) S which can be expressed within the internal language of a model of type theory. More explicitly, R(A) is the least subset of S²(A) containing all point filters and closed under a class of generalised limit processes. Improvements of our construction arise from several results saying that it suffices for the purpose of repletion to consider more restrictive classes of generalised limit processes.
